The Laws Flashcards
1
Q
What is Newton’s first law?
A
When resultant force on a stationary object is zero, it stays stationary.
If it is on a moving object, it’ll carry on at the same velocity.
2
Q
Resultant force equation?
A
Resultant force(N) =mass x acceleration
3
Q
What is inertia?
A
The tendency of an object to stay at rest or uniform motion.
4
Q
What is Newton’s second law?
A
Acceleration of an object is proportional to the resultant force.
Inversely proportional to the mass.
5
Q
What is Newton’s 3rd law?
A
When 2 objects interact, the forces are opposite but equal.
